A New Twist on Holiday Treats (healthier as well)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

Looking for some cute treats to take to a holiday party this season? Check some of these ideas out! Not only are they super cute and festive, but they take just minutes to make and require very little ingredients. 

1. Strawberry Santas

All you need is some strawberries, whipped cream or cool whip and a couple of chocolate sprinkles. Simply cute out the insides of the strawberries and then cut the small triangle off of the bottom. Fill the strawberry with whipped cream and make sure to put a little extra on top for the face. Then, put the part that you cut off on top. Add more more small dash of whipped cream to complete the hat and then use the sprinkles for eyes.

2. Cute Christmas Trees

You can use almost anything you want to make a Christmas tree this holiday. Whether it’s berries and apples, a veggie platter or a tree made of crackers and trees, the tree won’t be there for long.  These things are so simple and easy to make and will definitely be a wanted treat at your party!

3. Grinch Grapes

These bite-sized treats are another quick and easy recipe. All you need is some fresh grapes, strawberries, bananas and toothpicks. Simple cut the bananas, remove the center of the strawberry and then stick them all together with a toothpick to make a look-a-like Grinch treat that won’t be nearly as bad as his character!
